Or have you guys tried giving the pill alone? My cat has multiple pills every day, I always saw my dad give my dogs pills growing up, you put it on the back of their tongue and they can’t help but swallow it. A little neck massage and some coaxing with gentle head pets and holding their head back has always worked for me. My cat doesn’t even get up when she’s lying down and hears me open the pills. She perks her head up, almost like she looks forward to it. She’s a weirdo.

When my doggo was younger, we would just do that- drop it in the back of her throat then hold her mouth shut and massage her throat to encourage her to swallow. But now that she's on a vet-prescribed regimen for probably the rest of her life, it's just easier to pop a pill in the meat pouch since she just gobbles them up.
